he actually tried to play defense that year, then regressed since.

The league has a long history of magically having things happen that end up in the best ratings, just ignore the strange officiating, nothing to see there.

I guess it wouldn't surprise me all that much if those type of discussions occur. Hey LeBron, the league needs this right now, don't worry, we will make sure you win the play in game and it will make a great story of the Lakers being the first play in team and making it to the finals, think of your legacy!

If you guys think the league is dumb enough to do that, then I’ve got a bridge to sell you. They don’t openly plot conspiracies with star players fighting for playoff positioning.

I mean they did alter the 2002 WCF where their employee got busted by the FBI, followed by them taking over the investigation and immediately squashing it.

Can't put anything past them after that.

Nba officiating is absurd. Sabonis gets clobbered over the back and they call him for a foul. Westbrook wildly swings his arms into a defender and gets 2 Fts to win.

Unwatchable product at this point.

Hope my Nuggets can pull out the W tonight

Porter shooting 46% on over 6 threes a game since the all star break. **** absurd.

Talk all the sh*t you want about Westbrook, but this is impressive as hell. He just tied the Big O tonight.

Well I did say there's a good chance the nets go 4-2 with the mavs and nuggets their two losses.

Nuggets making it happen.

Bucks just need to take care of business to lock in the 2nd seed.

HKPackFan · Post #1971 » by **HKPackFan** » Sun May 9, 2021 3:36 am

Holy crap... We have 5 games in 7 nights.

Two back to backs and pacers sandwiched in between.

Wtf.

Hopefully we can go 4-1 and stay ahead of nets.

Harden about to come back and save KD and Kyrie from a total embarrassment of a playoff exit against Miami

That series has to happen.

That was an ugly ending to the 3ed quarter.

Ugh. Don't want to see the nets pulling off a comeback.

Nets can foul all day and literally nothing is called.

The Nuggets have the amazing ability to look like the smartest team in the league in one half, to looking like the dumbest team in the league in the next half.

They look like a lottery team in the 4th. It's Terrible.. It's been all iron clanking the entire 4th and Terrible possessions.

Looked like a really poor call from what I saw. Russ kicked out his left leg too on the final play. Arguably should have been an offensive foul.
